How AI is affecting this role

›A VC uses Perplexity to research the 'Indian EV battery supply chain' and generates a 'Thesis Report' with citations in 15 minutes, a task that previously took a junior analyst two days.
›During due diligence, a partner uploads a 100-page SPA (Share Purchase Agreement) into Claude 3, which instantly flags an unusual 'drag-along' clause specific to Indian Company Law that was missed by human lawyers.
›Using Excel Copilot, an associate instantly creates a 'worst-case scenario' model for a Series B startup by simply typing 'project burn rate if churn increases by 15%' into the spreadsheet.

›Shift focus from data gathering (which AI commoditizes) to relationship building and pattern recognition that no public data can reveal.
›Develop proprietary data sets (e.g., exclusive access to specific industry metrics) that general AI models cannot scrape.
›Become a 'hands-on' investor who helps portfolio companies implement AI tools, making yourself indispensable to founders.

›Build a custom 'Deal Bot' that scrapes Hacker News and Product Hunt for Indian startups launching today, alerting you via Slack if they gain traction within 24 hours.
›Use generative AI to create 'war game' simulations for portfolio companies, predicting competitor pricing strategies based on public data.
›Automate LP (Limited Partner) reporting by feeding raw portfolio data into a script that generates polished quarterly updates and slide decks.
